Hi

What fish can i put in with my betta, i would like a couple of gourami and maybe an angel.

NOOoooooo........neither gourami or angels are suitable.

Which sex betta are we talking about?

by **cherrydanio** Tue 16 Jun 2009 - 20:58

Is this the 60gal from your other post? Definatly not angels then... they will eat your neons (and I'm suprised the neons aren't nipping your male but if they aren't then grand).

im thinking small gourami with my females

by **Newfishy** Tue 16 Jun 2009 - 21:56

I wouldnt, Id just get more females. because what if you get lucky and get 2 males or a breeding pair who goes nuts over everyone getting near their nest?

In a community tank newfish fish?

hi storm.. this a few of my girls.. not quite a community tank but it's got Roger!!!

He's a betta abantiodes(prop mispelt)mouth brooder but he's brilliant for keeping females in line but add a bit of difference lol

Roger in coconut... blk hmpk in flowerpot, white hm behind and if you make out the blue bit in plant behind her is blue ct he keeps them well in line but uninterested in splendens... they just see him as big!

i'll nab a pic of them when they aren't all asleep but he atleast 2-3 times their size but a gentle giant

I have just bought 2 honey gourami sex unknown. :shock:

by **Vandraco aka Bronzecat** Thu 18 Jun 2009 - 16:10

Personally, i think that adding Honeys to a tank conatining female betta is a mistake. The honey gourami is a very timid member of that family and should be kept with smaller peaceful fish, which female betta aren't.

Without sounding rude to you, if you're going to ask for advice and then ignore it anyway, whats the point in asking? Its just that when people take the time to give advice to someone, which is then ignored, they may not bother giving any advice again. I've seen that happen many times on other forums.

Well i am sorry you feel that way and i do take all advise aboard. Although with the greatest respect and not been funny, every one said dont keep male and female fighter together and there fine.

I am very greatful for everyones advise and i dont want anyone to think diffrent

by **Vandraco aka Bronzecat** Thu 18 Jun 2009 - 16:36

I thought the male had been seperated off? As i said right back in your other thread, keeping male and females bettas in a 60L is going to lead to permanent stress for the fish concerned. It would take about 2 minutes for the male betta to destroy the gouramis if he chooses to do so, thats if the females dont get there first.

Can i ask if the lfs is aware of the fish you have and whether they said they would all be ok? If they did, then unfortunately their not very knowledgeable.

by **Storm** Thu 18 Jun 2009 - 16:55

The male is now sepreated, due to the fact that i think one of the females is a young male.
